oh la laYou can’t beat the French for style. The new Texline HQR range from Gerflor (designed and made in France) has a heady list of features. It’s a quality vinyl range with stylish good looks matched by tough hard-wearing layers designed to withstand the most demanding foot traffic. This range offers various design options from arty concrete and geometric patterns to new styles of the ever-popular tile and classic wood looks. See www.carpetcourt.co.nz.

see more with big colourColour perception is affected by many factors, including the size of the sample viewed. Generally the bigger the sample, the easier it is to distinguish the colour, which is why Resene recommends using all of a Resene testpot on an A2-sized card to view the true colour. To make this even easier, Resene BigColour – a large A2 sized paint swatch – is available for the most popular Resene colours. The Resene BigColour swatch can be moved around the space to be painted, and folded into the corners to see how it will look on adjacent walls. To imagine how a colour would look on all four walls, bend the large colour sample into a cylinder shape with the paint on the inside, then look down into the cylinder for the full colour effect. Resene BigColour swatches are available for ordering from Resene ColorShops, RRP $8 per swatch.

Cara Slim Vanity

keeping concrete looking goodConcrete benchtops and floors look superb when first installed but over time, dust and dirt can become engrained into the surface. Protect them with Resene Concrete Wax, a tough waterborne satin glaze that is quick and easy to apply. Scratches are easily repairable making it easy to keep the surface maintained.

If it’s your concrete walls, masonry or brick you want to protect, opt for Resene Concrete Clear, a tough waterborne glaze that is much easier to clean than the bare surface. Both Resene Concrete Wax and Resene Concrete Clear are non-yellowing, resistant to alkaline cleansers, chipping, peeling, oil and fat splashes. Both are Environmental Choice approved and waterbased so they are low odour and easy to wash up in water. Available from Resene ColorShops and selected resellers.
